What Is Your Waste?
Repurposing Your Resources
The circular economy begins with reusing materials and leads to sustainability benefits up and down the value chain. Sitos repurposes agricultural and forestry byproducts, municipal materials, green and food scraps to create high-quality biochar. Our process functions at a 3:1 ratio, re-purposing three tons of organic matter and producing one ton of biochar. Not only are we removing carbon, but we are also solving for resource efficiency. The synergies between our feedstock repurposing, soil health supporting, drought mitigating, high-quality biochar and our repeatable manufacturing process support multiple environmental and social benefits.
Case Study: Monterey Project #1 - Municipal Woody Biomass to Biochar
Sitos Group Monterey Project #1 has embarked on a transformative journey that not only tackles biomass utilization and hazardous forest waste but also promotes environmental sustainability and improved soil health. By utilizing abundant biomass from Keith Day Composting as feedstock for biochar production, we've achieved a remarkable reduction in landfill use and an increase in soil health.
Our process involves converting these byproducts into biochar, a carbon-rich soil amendment with numerous benefits. Woody Biomass and hazardous forest waste has emerged as an ideal biochar feedstock for various reasons. Not only is it readily available and often abundant, but it also lends itself to the creation of a stable form of biochar with acceptable pH levels, making it suitable for a wide range of agricultural applications.
Through Sitos Monterey Project #1, we're not only reducing our ecological footprint but also demonstrating the immense potential of repurposing agricultural, woody biomass and hazardous forest materials. It's a testament to the power of innovation and sustainability, and we're excited to continue making a positive impact on the environment and farming communities alike.
